Lime cheesecake with strawberries is a great-tasting dessert that also looks impressive on the table.

This cheesecake creation, which calls for fresh mint and 3 cups of luscious strawberries piled all over it, is one of the most beautiful dishes I have ever made. It is also, more importantly, one of the best-tasting desserts I have ever made.

Besides all that, it is easy to make. This recipe was passed along to me a few years ago, after I tasted it at a potluck. I have added my own touches, changes, and shortcuts. Here is my version:

Bake for 20 minutes or until it’s hot and bubbling. Stir. Sprinkle with onions and remaining cheese. Bake 1 minute or until the onions are golden.

Tip of the week: Before opening a can of soup, shake it well and open at the bottom end, instead of the top, and it will slide right out.

Readers corner

To our reader who was looking for a tilapia recipe, I think I have a good one. I just want to make it first and see what it tastes like.

For the reader who is looking for the spaghetti pie recipe, I will run that again next week if I can get it. It was a recipe loaned to me by my daughter-in-law. She said it was her grandfather’s recipe.
